Just a reminder of where we've been: Old Ask the Sage Thread.
Okay folks. I figured since we had a ten page thread, time to start a new one. Mostly because I don't want newbies to feel crowded. Before I begin taking questions, I'd figure I'd get around to reposting that Pr-class list. So here it is again without further ado.
Relic and Rituals:

Often employed by the Guilds to act as spies and occasional assassin, the Shade Touched are as much feared as respected.
